- added more interesting northern and southern edges with more metal spots accessible by ground units
- small craters near starting corners are now walkable (helps avoiding units getting stuck)

I searched, and couldnt find them anymore. Guess i tossed them or they are somewhere in the journey dev stuff.

They looked somewhat like this..

Hmmmmmm...

Not for this map, but I'm considering making maps with big crystal terrain features.

Might use terrain profile for them, with proper detail/specular.

But maybe pretty big features would look better.

2022/07/17 ------------------ NOTES v4 ----------------------

- lua resource spot marking stamps textures in the ground instead of relying on feature decals
(because people often have the ground decals disabled)

- removed unsupported map options
